You have a salary of $35,000, an RPP deduction of $2,500, paid $2,000 interest on your mortgage and paid union dues of $700. If the basic personal amount is $11,635 and the federal tax rate is 15 percent, what federal tax do you owe?
1)3025
2)2259
3)2829
4)2335
solution
The answer for this question is option 3 (2829)
the salary is 35000
deductions in federal tax are
RPP deduction = 2500
interest on mortgage = 2000
Basic personal amount = 11635
Total deductions = 16135
so the taxable amount is
= 35000-16135(total deductions) = 18865
tax percent is 15%
so tax we owe is = 18865*.15(15%) = 2829
that is option 3
